Full Moon Newsletter
The days are full, the moon is fuller, and the time is ripe for giving action to the things that align with vision.
As many of you know, my journey of becoming a mountain guide began in 2014. For the last eight years, I have devoted countless hours in the mountains to growing my skillset, building experience, and envisioning a different way of guiding that is both wholesome and generative for the people and places I serve.
What a moment in time…
This is the beginning— where we start to give the vision life.
All Grounding Truth programs provide a supportive environment to grow as a backcountry traveler, while also presenting an opportunity to honor the places we traverse, and offering more than just the skills needed to access the mountains. Each course aims to provide a fertile ground from which we may grow— as part of a community, in deepening connection, and with continuity.
Avalanche Mentorship Programs
Women’s specific and Co-ed programs to support individuals in building confidence in the winter backcountry environment. This involves season-long mentorship where we will apply our knowledge to the terrain, see a variety of avalanche conditions, tend to a growing community of mindful backcountry travelers, and empower each individual to contribute meaningfully to the decision making process.
